Kempenfelt Conference Centre
August 18-21
Kempenfelt Conference Centre
This professional learning will provide participants with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of adolescent literacy and to build their capacity as subject-specific adolescent literacy leaders. This year’s summer camp will feature learning with Dr. Jean Clinton and Dr. Stuart Shanker as we explore literacy and adolescent development, metacognition and self-regulation.
Over the course of the four days, participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, ideas and insights from whole group and breakout sessions, with colleagues. Opportunities to reflect upon new learning will be provided through collaborative networking and dedicated time for focused conversation.
Who?Educators interested in enhancing their capacity to support literacy in intermediate and senior classrooms (all subjects grades 7 & 8, Canadian & World Studies grades 9-12, English grades 9-12).
Participants are encouraged to register as a team of learners. Team members may be from the same school or from across a board. Priority will be given to team applications before individual applications. Participants should register as a team of two to five members.
